                When building your application during
                development, you should normally use compile options
                "Debug Multithreaded DLL" and link against
                <code class="filename">build_windows\Debug\libdb62d.lib</code>.
            </p>
          <div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;">

            <p> 
                    Building your application with the debug
                    configuration will create a Berkeley DB library
                    and utilities with debugging symbols, as well as
                    load various routines that can be called from a
                    debugger to display pages, cursor queues, and so
                    forth. If installed, the utilities will not be
                    stripped. This configuration should not be
                    specified when building production binaries.
                </p>
          </div>
          <p>
                You can also build using a release version of the
                Berkeley DB libraries and tools, which will be placed
                in
               <code class="filename">build_windows\Win32\Release\libdb62.lib</code>.
                When linking against the release build, you should
                compile your code with the "Release Multithreaded DLL"
                compile option. You will also need to add the
                <code class="filename">build_windows</code> directory to
                the list of include directories of your application's
                project, or copy the Berkeley DB include files to
                another location.
